Category: The Gauntlet: Our Community

Taking a glance at the Comicpalooza RPG options, I notice there is a huge amount of Pathfinder Society. I hope the convention center isn’t within 2000 feet of an elementary school.

If I was going to run the LotFP module Carcosa in one of the *World systems, which would be a better fit: Adventures on Dungeon Planet, Grim World, or tremulus? 

Some pics from In a Wicked Age last night. Thanks to Rob Ferguson for GM’ing and to Russell Benner Scott Owen Jacob Densford and Nikki Khan for coming out. And safe travels to Jonathan Cook, who was passing through Houston and decided to stop in for a game.

The Gauntlet: Bringing people together in a spirit of fellowship, camaraderie, and devil-worship.

Last week, Derek Grimm Sean Smith and myself had a very successful game of Microscope over Hangouts (seriously – it is the best way to play that game). I posted about it earlier, but one of the things I failed to mention was that we made liberal use of the Story Game Names Project. We were doing a frozen North setting, so we used the Nordic entry for the names of both characters and places, and we used the Demons entry for baddies. It was perfect. 

If you game with me, you know that few things bug me more than poorly-named characters. A shitty, anachronistic, or genre-inappropriate name really breaks the illusion for me. Oh, you think you’re being cute by naming your paladin Judge Dredd? Because I think you’re being an asshole. 

The Story Game Names project is completely free at the link below. Every game table should have a copy (or three).

Great turnout for Wednesday One-Shots tonight! We had enough people for three games. I ran our ongoing game of Dungeon World. Russell Benner ran God-King. Rob Ferguson facilitated Microscope.

Thanks to everyone who came out: Gary Wilson Angel Ludwig James Melott Daniel Fowler C Williams Kristen D Scott Owen Daniel Lewis and our three new folks: Josef, Cat (sp?), and Gregg!
